101 in 101.

I am a huge fan of the sitcom Friends. I’ve seen every episode at least 8 times, I’ve had “the Rachel” haircut, and I frequently forget that the cast aren’t actually real people. One of my favorite episodes is “The One Where Ross Hugs Rachel”, when Monica tells Rachel that she has to move out because Chandler is moving in. The reason I believe I have connected so much with this episode is because of a scene where Rachel & Monica are crying together on their couch because, “It’s the end of an era!” Since seeing this episode well over eight years ago, I have dramatically channeled my inner Rachel & Monica on numerous occasions… Totaling my first car, little Lucy, and seeing her crumbled self towed off to the car graveyard? “It’s the end of an era!!” Getting ready to leave home to attend a college more that 600 miles away? “It’s the end of an era!!” Saying “yes” and promising to live with a boy half way across the world?? That may be a bit dramatic. “It’s the end of an era!!”

Many times in the past, these endings have totally snuck up on me & left me feeling totally unprepared for the next era. So I decided to make a list. I loveeee lists. A bucket list of sorts… As of today, December 6, 2011, I only have 101 days left until I enter a life of pure marital bliss, and there are about a million things I want to accomplish before then. Okay. Maybe not a million but a lot. 101 to be exact. I realize that a to do list of this magnitude is quite daunting, and I also realize that there’s a good chance, no, a GREAT chance that the list will not be accomplished. All I’m promising myself is that I will do my best to make the most of the next three-ish months.

I decided it would be a good idea to blog (in random order) my 101 in 101 for a multitude of reasons: #1 – Accountability. #2 – I think it’ll be fun to document my progress & look back over everything once its over. #3 – To completely overwhelm myself. #4 – To show you, internet, that I am a weirdo, yet again.

Before you begin reading, please understand that many of these tasks beg an explanation. Like serious begging, people. But based on the fact that this is already the longest blog post of all time, I decided against explanations, with the hope that someone would make it to the very end. Thanks, Mom! So all I would ask is that you please don’t judge me. :)

Andrea Sorie -I love this! Also.. your life stresses me out just a little. ;) BUT, if you find yourself in Lynchburg sometime in the next 101 days (which I totally hope you do), I promise to help you with a bunch of those crafty things–how fun would that be!? Also, I’m down for #49.. hehe. :)ReplyCancel

Barbara -Wish I would have seen this list before I entered your room…at least I would have seen EVERYTHING thru your heart. Looking forward to finally studying with you…8 Choices That Will Change a Woman’s Life by Jill Briscoe ~ #102??ReplyCancel
